January 2014 Pickups
Happy New Year everyone... Starting 2014 off, the same way I ended 2013, with some minor league pickups.

David...I love seeing ball players in their minor league days. They look so young and skinny! Here are a few to add to my Griffey collection...

I'll tack on a few more minor league cards.. Walker has always been on of my favorite players, couldn't pass on the lot..
Used my ebay bucks on the beater(possibly trimmed) Clemens. Not a card that I was necessarily in the market for, BUT the price was right in my wheelhouse, thanks to the condition... Last edited by novakjr; 01-03-2014 at 05:12 PM. Reason: added Clemens.. |

My first modern purchase in a long time. Thought I'd do a little speculating. I think this guy can have a huge year.

That's an awesome Sandy, David.
I've never seen a copy before. Adding it to my wantlist! Go Tribe. |

Hi Guys!
That old Bo Jackson up front has tremendous flavor!
I believe this one goes here... Last edited by MattyC; 01-11-2014 at 11:56 AM. |

Nothing like starting the year with my favorite player of all-time. BO The Mattingly is amazing. Congrats on the pickup

I remember the BO TRADED image so vividly from 1986. That whole traded set in fact has what are, to my memory, iconic images. Heck, even Cangelosi! But that was one heck of a class in that set. Steroids aside, that one set had a ton of stars.

Off the top of my head. Bo, Bonds, Mitchell, Clark, Bonilla, Canseco, Joyner, Kruk, Galarraga, and Leyland. Maybe that class didn't hold up well in the long run. But I agree, for a minute there, that was one hell of a rookie card class..

What a crew that was in its day; all stars. I even remember the Incaviglia, Tartabull, and there was a Brewers Rob Deer card too I think. What a set that was!

switched directions... Tiffany Cecil. 1990 SCD Jordan, I believe this is the first card that he appears on in a baseball uni, and the 1990 Hoops Sam Vincent card that got pulled because Jordan was wearing the 12 jersey... Stadium Club BB Bo missing foil, and the Stadium Club FB Bo, with blank back..

Best Mark Grace patch card ever made.
|
#23
|
|||
|

Mark Grace had more hits during the decade of the 90's than any other player.
I always kind of liked him, even though I am a Cardinal fan. |

Very impressive, staying atop all those Bryce Harper cards. I'd find that task daunting for sure. Congrats!

t206blogcom are those PC cards or are you flipping them? Either way with all the Harper PSA 10 cards you have shown that is 1 impressive collection.

Thanks Matt, it's a challenge to keep up with them all. Congrats on your pickups.

Thanks Ben for the kind words. I'm a Harper fan and a Nationals season ticket holder. I picked up a few of his rookie cards in PSA 10, then a few more, then I started to amass stacks of his cards. As a result, I decided to go after the master set on the PSA registry for the heck of it. Personal collection, but I do sell dupes (hard to keep track of what I have at times) and raw versions once I obtain graded examples. I went from finishing a T206 set to collecting modern slabbed cards; quite the difference. I'm sure at some point I'll get tired of trying to keep up with the latest releases and sell them off, but having fun at the moment.

One of the players I collect is Griffey Jr. He started in the league when I was 10 yrs old and he was one of the best from that point on. So many memories of going to the card shop with my cousin, seeing and buying '80's and '90's cards...great memories for sure. I go after the Griffey's that I used to love when I collected back then...they spark a lot of great memories for me, not to mention some of those cards I could never afford! So it is somewhat surreal (in a way) to obtain some cards that I could only gaze at when I was a kid. The great thing is that most of them cost at or under the $10 range and that's in Gem Mint condition Bo Jackson was a beast and he IS a legend IMO...one of my pure favorites from year's back. There only has to be one reason to collect what anyone chooses to and the rest is history. But I do believe one game cements how great Bo Jackson was....TECMO BOWL Collect what you like!!! There are so many reasons to do so

Not buying cards is getting to me, so I picked up this Yount as part of my master set to scratch that itch. Nothing fancy, but it will do for now.

That's one nice looking Yount! Congrats Bill!
Did the packers have a QB with the same name as you or did you edit the name? That would be pretty sweet if they did have a QB with the same name. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you, Mike.
Nope, it's a screenie from a Tecmo Bowl ROM. If you go to tecmobowl.org, you can download a NES emulator and play the game on your computer. Members of the website update the ROM every year for new players, trades, team moves (so it has all the current teams instead of the teams back when Tecmo Bowl was sold), etc. There's also an editor, so you can put yourself on the team should you choose. You pick your jersey #, position, set your attributes, and even pick which picture you want. You can also pick which plays are in your team's "playbook". Naturally I made myself Rodgers' backup, because while I had to suffer through the indignity of watching Seneca Wallace, Scott Tolzien and then Matt Flynn play quarterback in the 8 weeks Aaron was out injured, I didn't have to do the same in the game. I run like Kaepernick and throw like Rodgers, Peyton Manning or Tom Brady. Edit: George, those autos are beautiful. Especially the Bench. Unfortunately, players nowadays don't sign cards that nicely. The last really great signer was Griffey Jr. I understand these guys sign thousands of cards, but they're being paid a lot of money to do it, so you'd think they would take their time to do it right.

Thanks Bill, I do love the look of the 5 star. I have three young sons who love the shiney stuff, so I get sucked in. Trying hard not to buy a box of '14 topps this week. |

That is a nice one Arthur. Is Mr Bradley going to break out this year ?
In October I was on a reposition cruise from Montreal to Miami on the Regent Seven Seas Voyager. One of the stops was Boston. By sheer luck this born and raised St Louis guy docked in Boston on the morning of October 31 Last edited by ALR-bishop; 01-26-2014 at 12:14 PM. |

The Cardinals certainly have no shortage of young impressive talent. Rosenthal, Martinez, Tavarez, seems like it never ends. Did you enjoy your stay in Boston?

Occasionally, there are really great players with nice signatures. Shelby Miller is one. He actually delivers a pretty decent one. Unfortunately, far too many of the Bowman Chrome prospect autos I have look more like this: And that was the nicest Taveras auto I could find. Sad.

Heck of a nice Yount Bill. That card pops in that scan.
Jackie Bradley Jr. has a really nice signature. I wish I wrote that well. |
